 Posted: 18:39 - 13 Feb 2008 Post subject: My sad sad story about Larry :'( |
 |
|
Ages ago i got a newt called it Larry he didn't eat because he was lonely (hence the name Larry) and he became all anorexic so i thought i would get him a friend.
Enter Barry. When i got Barry i also got 3 goldfish (Jezebel, Stacey and Brenda) and a sucker fish (Bruiser). Larry was happier with his new tank mates.
Barry is a greedy newt and never let Larry eat the worms, so Larry would have to dig in the pebbles for the left over worms.
As Barry grew and grew he became more and more greedy so he decided to taste Stacey, so Stacey was swimming around the tank with a big lump out of her tail and of course lost all of her balance and died. Meanwhile Barry liked the taste of goldfish and ate the other two, while Larry still limited to finding left over worms in the pebbles.
Bruiser was a big sucker fish, bigger than Barry but he was so upset that his gold friends had gone that he just lost all will to live and let Barry eat him.
So that is Jezebel, Stacey, Brenda and Bruiser all munched up and flushed down the toilet.
Last night Larry got caught up in the reeds and died, Barry was upset but was a little curious as to what newt would taste like, so he had a little nibble of Larry's leg and decided he liked it so had a few more nibbles from his tail, so when i went to feed my newts this morning there was a half nibbled Larry mangled up in the reeds and a rather full Barry.
I don't think i will be getting Barry another tank mate in fear of it getting eaten. |

Survival of the fittest.
Barry wins and demands your undivided love and attention. Or he'll probably eat you too.

I had a weather loach called Larry.
It jumped from the tank into a bowl of boiling washing up water and lived to tell the tale.
Feck me was he a double-hard bastard.
I miss him now. <sniff> Thanks for bringing back the pain.

I had a blue lobster (crayfish) that escaped from his tank, using his claws he climbed the air pipe, and fell about 5 foot to freedom, I spent ages looking for the little sod and eventually found him under a pair of boxers in my bedroom.
Completely dry but still game for a laugh, a laugh that involved pinching me, I got him back in the tank and over the next two weeks watched him eating some fish, bloody expensive fish I might add, so i took him back to the shop and asked if the bloke would have him back.
Ended up giving me a flag tailed catfish in his place, I call him shearer cos of his black and white stripes. Much more friendly.
The lobster was also called larry. |

we had that problem, i think we went through 20 odd fish in about a year, obviously we decided to give up at that point, not sure what we did wrong, we tried all sorts of things but none of them ever survived more than a few months, oh apart from the water snails but they were kind of boring so i never payed much attention to them
im after a few giant african snails now, those things are sooooo cool! not sure it'd impress the ladies much though

Being somewhat of a fan of newts and other assorted herptiles...
What the devil have you been smoking?
Have you actually just chucked a newt in with your fish in the aquarium? What species? Age? I've never heard of a newt actually managing to take a bite out of something, owing to their lack of teeth (well they have pseudo-teeth, but certainly Jaws they aint) and tiny mouths.
Only thing i can think you mean is MAYBE an Axolotl, but even then they're savage but again lack teeth (neotonous form of a normal terrestrial salamander, tiger i think) ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...
From September 2014 to January/February 2015 I will not be using any English, nor reading any. As such, I won't be on here. PM at will, but I won't be checking/posting unless in emergencies. Certainly not for the first couple of months. Please berate me savagely if I break that rule... |

Well this is the largest newt you can get, and its a great crested. Owning up to having one of them in your tank will land you some fairly hefty monetary bitchslapping.

Bare in mind the word 'newt' is fairly ambiguous (its like saying bird, which encompasses penguins and albatross) and just covers all urodeles, ie terrestrial and aquatic. Terrestrial is colloqually known as a salamander but theres no taxonomic distinction between the two. Some of them get fairly big, but they really hate staying underwater.
By the by, if you wake thyroid stimulating hormone (i think its that, def a hormone) Axolotl's DO metamorphose and become giant fugoff salamanders. Heres a failed attempt where the dose was abit low.

And heres the proper effect. Basically end up looking like tiger salamanders.
